Hi all,

I am trying to store the name of a procedure in a variable and then pass
this variable as the argument of the AddressOf operator but it just doesn't
work !

The addressOf seems to only accept litteral values from its popup list of
arguments.

Any idea or workaround to make this work ?

I definitly need to store the procedure name in a variable as part of my code.

Regards.

RAFAAJ2000,
Did you read the help on AddressOf ?

Where are the functions that you wish to call ?

Thanks Nickh for the reply.

Basically, I am trying to create a Function that will return TRUE if a
worksheet Cell contains a UDF, FALSE if it doesn't.

The idea is that if the function in the Cell is a UDF then there must be
function procedure somewhere in the current VbProject ( I assume the UDF is
defined in the current project) which means that the AddressOf Operator
should return the Procedure handle otherwise it should return 0.

Here is the code I have so far which obviously generates a Compile error if
you try it :

Code:

Function HasUDF(R As Range) As Boolean

On Error Resume Next

Dim strFormula As String

strFormula = Mid(R.Formula, 2, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("(",
R.Formula) - 2)

'THIS IS WHERE THE COMPILER ERRORS OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF ADDRESSOF strFormula < 0 THEN HasUDF=True

End Function

Sub TEST()
MsgBox HasUDF(Range("A1"))
End Sub


Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Regards.

RAFAAJ2000,
As I said, if you read the help:
<HELP
AddressOf Operator

A unary operator that causes the address of the procedure it precedes to be
passed to an API procedure that expects a function pointer at that position
in the argument list.
</HELP

I'm no expert on this type of thing, but support for AddressOf under VBA is
different to that under VB.
Also, as you can see, AddressOf does not take a string argument.

You could try using the old Getz/Kaplan Excel 97 AddressOf emulator.

I just tried this with Excel XP (2002) and nothing rigorous. I had problems
at first but it seems to work now

Sorry, ignore that. I just figured out why the problems I initially had
stopped. I tested in XL97 and that worked, it still doesn't work in later
versions. Needs more work, but it does work with 97.

Sounds promising...Hope we find a solution for versions later than 97 :)

If your just looking to see if a certain string is and UDF, ie. a
procedure, why not use the VBAIDE?

you could use something like

Public Function isUDF(strProc As String) As Boolean
Dim module As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim lngLine As Long

isUDF = False

If TypeName(Application.Caller) = "Range" Then

Set wb = Application.Caller.Parent.Parent

For Each module In wb.VBProject.VBComponents

If module.Type = vbext_ct_StdModule Then
lngLine = module.CodeModule.ProcStartLine(strProc,
vbext_pk_Proc)
If lngLine 0 Then
isUDF = True
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If

End Function

DM Unseen

DM Unseen,

Thanks for the code. I actually have a similar code already which also makes
use of the VBIDE Library but I thought using the AddressOf operater would be
cleaner and would not need a loop.

Regards.
